#+(or :cmu :sbcl)
(cl:eval-when (load eval compile)
(cl:pushnew :pittsburgh cl:*features*))

it seems counterintuitive and random, as in "project code name".

what is it _really_ supposed to identify?

Note that this is something someone might want use for its own
abbreviation purposes. It's not supposed
to be predefined, as older CMUCL releases won't have it.

And one normally should do (delete :pittsburgh *features*) after being
done, so as not to leave unnecessary crud around.

Why not use something a bit more intuitive like :cmu-or-sbcl instead
of some totally random :pittsburgh?

Better would be CMU-OFFSPRING or something (there might be others...)

Not just for those 2. For any CMUCL forks that may ever happen.
:Anything better than :cmu-offspring?

:cmucl ?

[Random??]
